๐ซ Donโt get so focused on success that you donโt see it right in front of you! ๐ณ
Iโm always wanting more. In part, thatโs what makes me an entrepreneur. I have a burning desire to succeed, and work my tail off to do so.
That said, sometimes Iโm so focused on the hustle and pursuit of success that I fail to celebrate and recognize the small wins.
๐ Take time to be grateful.
๐ Think about where you were a year or even five years ago.
๐ Celebrate the small wins.
Take care! :)

Read Postโผ๏ธ Lets to do something different:
๐ง analyze a marketing tactic from another company.
Last week, Jake Bjorseth of Trndsttrs posted that his company was โfor now [โฆ.] no more.โ Today, after a week of silence, they announced new branding. (links to both posts in the comments)
I've seen opinions, criticisms, and praises of this tactic.
My thoughts:
๐๐ป The Good
Good Marketing creates emotional responses and encourages conversations. This tactic worked. I'm sure Jake and Trndsttrs have had more views and have been more top of mind over the past week. Anecdotally, Iโve been checking Jakeโs page almost daily hoping for updates. This was creative, and probably effective. Iโm writing about it, arenโt I?
๐๐ป The Bad
Good marketing creates emotional responses and views, but more importantly, it creates trust. This was a potentially dangerous move since some people following Jake and Trndsttrs Media may not trust them anymore.
๐ง The Ugly
Honestly, it is a little distasteful because there are a lot of people loosing jobs, and businesses REALLY going under. Itโs never good taste to poke fun at other peoples pain.

At the end of the day, Iโm genuinely curious to see how this turns out. Jake, did this tactic work for you guys? What results did you get.
What do you all think?

๐ซ Stop sending a sales pitch right after connecting.
I understand that social media networks are great sales tools, but itโs not the right way to do it.
Instead:
๐ฑ Cultivate relationships.
๐ฌ Engage with content.
๐ก Provide Value.
THEN talk about your services.
๐๐ป Tell me about the worst LinkedIn sales pitch youโve received.
